Pros

This has to be the cheapest way to get replacement blades.

Packaging/appearance


They are well packaged, wrapped in brown paper with just enough oil.


Listed online and marked as 100 blades on the sticker, but the package clearly states it contains only 40 blades.


It also says china on the back of the package.


The ones in the tiny black plastic box.

Competitiveness


Amazing the difference from “off brand “ blades


Compared to others i’ve used, these have been the sharpest and highest quality blades.
